Lemon Thistle
DIY, Hand Lettering + Home Decor
Now that we’re finishing renovations (slowly… we’re not there yet), I’m craving the ‘things’… y’know? The pretty stuff to fill all those shelves, and all the walls. Don’t get me wrong… we do have stuff from our apartment, but I feel like in those few years my tastes have changed. But my …
Wedding season is upon us! It’s that time of year when every. single. weekend. is filled with love birds getting married, engaged, or bridal showers. I’m happy to say I’m *mostly* passed this time in my life (it’s no longer every weekend), but I still find it so handy to have lovely wedding tags on …
It’s been almost a year (just shy a couple days) since we were in Calgary, celebrating my little sister’s university graduation. I threw her a little science-y party and since we were back visiting this weekend, it reminded me that I haven’t yet shared it with all of you! So prepare yourself for some nerdy …
A couple months ago I had a slew (well, three in two weeks) of parties that I decorated for and have a few DIYs still to share. This one I love SO much. I originally made this hoop chalkboard as a wreath to welcome guests to tell guests they were in the right place (above), …
So I’m sure you’ve heard me chat on it… I’m such an advocate for children creating art – no matter how young. I actually just talked about this when I shared the watercolour art mats a couple weeks ago. My kids started finger painting when they could sit up (I used a recipe that’s edible) …
I’m pretty sure Mothers Day just happened… but it’s almost Fathers Day already! Every year I make some fun printables for Father’s Day and this year’s are probably my favourite yet. If your dad (or husband) is a lover of chocolate- these cards are for you. Just package them up with some LINDOR Truffles and …
I’ve been holding onto this post for SO long to share with you guys, waiting to show off the kiddos whole new bedrooms first. And now that we have… well hip hip hurray! When our kids grew out of their cribs, we started looking at beds and with our small budget, we didn’t love anything …
It’s been a while since I’ve posted a full party around here… but I actually have a couple party posts sitting ready for you. This one is probably my fave. In November, one of my best friends had her champagne birthday. Do you know what this means? I had actually never heard the term before …
I’m sure I’ve mentioned it 1000x by now, but I’m slowly working on a Nursery for Windsor (he’s almost 5 months old now!). And while it’s not totally done… I couldn’t help but share this fun and simple DIY with you that lives in there. When I unpacked my swag from SNAP I spotted this …
I’m so excited to share this post with you guys! I’m sure you’ve figured out by now (if you’ve been reading Lemon Thistle for any amount of time) that I really enjoy hand lettering. I have been challenging myself to learn different styles, techniques… and just generally learn since I just started for fun. I …
These DIY hanging shelves can be built in an afternoon with a few supplies from the hardware store. They make great creative office decor and are perfect open shelving for small spaces. These shelves were built for my office space, but this room has now transitioned into a nursery and I loved the shelves so …
You guys know as a DIY blogger I value creativity, but not just for me- for my kiddos as well. I actually wrote a whole post a while back on crafting with toddlers (without the stress) if you’re thinking I’m totally crazy. But today I just wanted to pop in and let you know that …
